The human body contains trillions of microorganisms — outnumbering human cells by 10 to 1- and today we explore how vital these microbes have been to our evolution as a species and how crucial they are for our survival on the planet.
We are thrilled to welcome back our very first guest, Nitsa’s father and esteemed Doctor of Oriental Medicine Alfred Pomerleau to SOUNDFOOD. Alfred is an advanced acupuncturist, teacher, lecturer, nutrition expert and clinic supervisor, who has worked with over ten thousand individuals, guiding and empowering them on their journey to health.
In this conversation, Nitsa and Alfred demystify the layers and functions of the microbiome, identify what a healthy microbiome looks like , unpack the significance of diversity and the brain:gut connection, the healing powers of whole and fermented foods, and share how we can help prevent inflammation and reverse metabolic syndromes through diet and lifestyle.
Thank you Alfred, for your detailed knowledge and ability to both deepen and simplify optimal health.
